INDIVIDUAL DRIVING CHARACTERISTICS.

As a plug-in hybrid, the BMW 330e Sedan has various different drive modes that allow the driver to significantly influence the actual energy consumption. This depends on both the driving mode selected and the driver’s personal behaviour. When the battery is fully charged, you can drive for up to 40 kilometres without using a single drop of fuel. In the AUTO eDrive mode, the optimal combination of electric motor and combustion engine enables the focus to be placed on top-quality efficiency.

Urban driving

When driving in the city, the BMW 330e Sedan exploits the strengths of the electric drive system to the full. With a fully charged battery, short distances (up to 40 km) can be covered with no local emissions – through the city, without using one drop of petrol.

Day-to-day driving

On your daily commute, the interplay between both drive systems in the plug-in hybrid also comes to the fore. In the AUTO eDrive mode, the intelligent combination of combustion engine and electric motor guarantees considerably lower consumption than that of petrol and diesel vehicles in this class. In short: Enjoy the luxury of a BMW 3 Series Sedan with the added bonus of excellent fuel economy.

Long-distance driving

Experience efficient driving pleasure – over long distances, too. The plug-in hybrid has outstanding long-haul capabilities with no compromise in range or vehicle functionality.

DRIVE TRAIN.

A high-output BMW TwinPower Turbo 4-cylinder petrol engine and a high-efficiency eDrive electric motor are the driving forces of the BMW 330e Sedan. The combination of these EfficientDynamics technologies produced an innovative vehicle offering not only low fuel consumption, but also awesome driving dynamics and stability in all driving conditions.

INTELLIGENT ENERGY MANAGEMENT.

Intelligent energy management is one of the main pillars of the BMW eDrive concept. This system coordinates the interaction of all drive components in order to combine the best possible efficiency with great driving dynamics. Intelligent energy management optimises the hybrid drive's power-efficiency factor by predictively choosing the appropriate drive. For example, available navigation data is used to identify in advance the sections of the route and driving situations that are best suited for the electric motor or for charging the high-voltage battery.
In situations in which the combustion engine would have a low power-efficiency factor, the system shifts up to a higher load range with a better power-efficiency factor. That means that the combustion engine produces additional power. This power is used to create electricity for the battery via the electric motor/generator, which can later be used for electric driving or efficiently supporting the combustion engine. It also controls the electric motor/generator, so that kinetic energy is transformed into electrical energy during coasting and when braking. In combination with ECO PRO mode, intelligent energy management adapts all vehicle systems, including all auxiliary components and comfort functions, to be fuel-consumption conscious and highly efficient.
The eDrive button allows the driver to choose between three eDrive modes: the standard AUTO eDRIVE mode, the purely electric MAX eDRIVE mode and the SAVE BATTERY mode, which maintains the charging status at a constant level.

AUTO eDRIVE mode

In the AUTO eDRIVE mode, the intelligent BMW EfficientDynamics system determines the most efficient combination of electric motor and combustion engine – depending on the driving speed and the battery charging status. This mode is divided into two phases: If the battery charging status is between 12% and 100%, you can enjoy purely electric driving at up to 80 km/h. At higher speeds or with more demanding requirements, the petrol engine switches on automatically. If the battery charging status drops below 12%, the BMW 330e Sedan can be driven in the purely electric mode with moderate acceleration up to 20 km/h and with light acceleration and constantly at speeds of up to 55 km/h.

MAX eDRIVE mode

Electric driving fun to the max: In the MAX eDRIVE mode, you can enjoy purely electric driving at speeds of up to 120 km/h. At higher speeds or when the acceleration potential should be exhausted, the combustion engine switches on automatically.

SAVE BATTERY mode

When the battery charging status is low, the SAVE BATTERY mode enables the battery to be charged by the combustion engine or allows the charging status to be maintained. In this way, the driver can save the battery capacity for purely electric driving later.

Predictive selection

Once the destination has been entered into the navigation system, the predictive energy management analyses the planned route using constant data such as speed limits and real-time information on the current traffic status. In this way, the system uses the electric energy efficiently, appropriately and, above all, on routes on which it’s most beneficial (e.g. driving in the city).

CHARGING.

Whether at a conventional household power socket or using the BMW i Wallbox from the comprehensive range of 360° ELECTRIC products and services – charging the high-voltage battery couldn’t be easier. You can top up while you’re out and about at one of the many ChargeNow public charging stations.

Home charging

The vehicle can be easily charged at home by connecting it to a power socket via the supplied standard charging cable and is once again ready to roll with a full battery after approximately two to four hours. Charging is even quicker and more convenient when done with the separately available BMW i Wallbox: This wall-mounted charging station for home use increases charging capacity and reduces the charging time, making it the ideal design accessory for BMW vehicles The installation service reacts flexibly to individual requirements. In addition to increasing the charging capacity even more, the BMW i Wallbox Pro also supports intelligent integration into the home network and smart-home functions, along with energy management systems.
The car's charging port is located behind a flap on the front left side panel. An LED light ring on the charging port make the charging status visually clear.

Charging on the go

In addition to charging the vehicle at home, it is now possible – thanks to the development of the ChargeNow mobility service by BMW – to charge BMW electric and plug-in hybrid automobiles while on-the-go anywhere. The fact that the public charging stations of numerous providers have amalgamated to form a huge network also makes life easier.
All the ChargeNow charging stations can be easily located in the navigation system with the help of BMW ConnectedDrive, the BMW Remote app or the ChargeNow website. The car's charging port is located behind a flap on the front left side panel, which is where an LED light ring on the charging port provides information regarding the vehicle's charging status, even from the outside.
